Harley-George Johnson Poem
Lonely lies to myself
A string of hope
Clung to, hung to
Like the rope I'll use
When the time it comes
A soaring, sweet release
But for now,
My only release
Is this pen.
Until it comes,
The wren.

Harley-George Johnson Poem
My soul is crushed and heavy
Beneath the words I kept within
Weighed down it’s caged, it’s silent
A dark place of wondering
If anything could have changed.
Should I have said what's inside?
In my dreams, I speak them
I say all I wished to
But my nightmares are silent
Unspoken words drift around
Maybe everything would change
if I had the strength to speak
Would speaking them free me?
Would my soul be easy and light
Maybe the words will end me
Or I’ll accept my whole past
And next time I’ll speak freely
But one day my soul will be free.
